N2  - "Minkie" by Louis Tracy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins in a domestic setting, focusing on the character of Minkie, a clever and spirited girl, as she navigates an intriguing Christmas Eve filled with unexpected visitors and potential trouble arising from a mysterious guest named Mr. Schwartz. The narrative is filled with whimsy and humor, suggesting a tale of adventure that includes themes of friendship, cleverness, and familial bonds.  The opening of the novel introduces us to Minkie through the perspective of Bobby, the family horse, setting a playful tone. As Minkie and her family prepare for the arrival of Mr. Schwartz, who comes with an air of mystery, we learn about her interactions with various animals, including Dandy the terrier and Tibbie the cat. There is an immediate sense of tension regarding Schwartz's past connections in West Africa and the peculiar object known as a ju-ju, which becomes a significant plot point. The scene is lively with Minkie's wit and sarcasm, hinting at her ability to handle the complications that arise with Schwartz’s presence, and sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the adventure that is to unfold.
